Turn on/off timesheet submission emails

We recently made it possible for users to notify someone when they submit a timesheet. Even though the feature was optional, quite a few users were bombarded with unwanted emails. You now have the option to turn on or off the option for user to notify a person when they submit a timesheet. Administrators can find this feature under Settings then Notifications. Enjoy!

Introducing Budget Alerts

We have always captured high-level budget information at the project level.  But we never really did much with the data.  Well we have decided to capture additional budget information and make use of it all.  Starting today, in additional to project level budget information, you can now enter budget settings for tasks.

To make the most of this data, we are introducing Budget Alerts.  Budget Alerts send emails to people when a budget setting is exceeded or within a certain limit.  Budgets are checked daily at midnight, using your company’s timezone setting. Once triggered, an email will be sent weekly until the budget alert is removed.

There are four budget types:

  • Cost Per Task – This budget type uses the Budgeted Cost defined for each task to determine when to trigger a budget alert.
  • Hours Per Task – This budget type uses the Budgeted Hours defined for each task.
  • Total Project Cost – This budget type uses the Budgeted Cost defined in the Project Overview.
  • Total Project Hours – This budget type uses the Budgeted Hours defined in the Project Overview.

Note: You must be on trial or a paid plan to use Budget Alerts. Budget Alerts are sent at 11 p.m. EST.

Create Your First Budget Alert

Click Settings then Projects.  Click on the Project you want to have a budget.  Under the Budget Alert section, click Add Budget Alert. Complete the form then click Add Budget Alert.

New Feature: Customize Days of Week

WeWorked always required a set work week that started on Sunday and ran through Saturday. We believed that the majority of our customers followed a standard work week schedule. However, the time has come where our customer base has spread all over the world and has thus outgrown what is typical. And for this reason we are proud to announce that you can now customize your weeks to begin on any day of the week.

This feature was once reserved only for our Enterprise customers, but we felt even our smallest customers would benefit from the ability to change which day started the week.

Administrators can go to Settings then edit Company. You will see the option to change Start of Week near the bottom of the screen.

Enhancement to Timesheet Timer

We made some major improvements to the daily timer.

How it worked before
Previously the timer required you to keep the timer window open. Closing the window would stop the timer. You also could only run a single timer at a time.

How it works now
Today you can start a timer or multiple timers for tasks. You can close the browser and come back later and the timer will keep running. The timer windows will no longer get in your way. You will no that a task has a timer running by the animated bouncing ball.

Give the new timer a try, and let us know what you think. Enjoy!
